Dr He Zhu

Dr He Zhu is a currently a Research Scientist in the team of Optical and Terahertz Systems at CSIRO Manufacturing. He received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at the University of Queensland in 2017. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and then a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Global Big Data Technologies Centre at University of Technology Sydney from 2017 to 2022. He is selected as an IWY-Research Scientist via the CSIRO Impossible Without You (IWY) campaign and the Space Technology Future Science Platform (FSP) in 2023.

Dr Zhu is currently working on the Space Technology FSP project concerning high-speed Terahertz wireless communication systems for satellites. He is also working on the development of novel quantum sensors using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) MMIC and devices. He has been an active researcher in the field of electromagnetics and microwave engineering since receiving his PhD degree, and his research interests include development of passive and tunable microwave/mm-wave devices, radio frequency integrated circuits and systems, and beam-forming networks for antenna arrays.

Dr Zhu has published top ranking papers in multiple prestigious journals including IEEE Flagship journals in the field of antenna technology, microwave theory and techniques, and circuits and systems. These include IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters. He has made a series of breakthroughs and major contributions in the fields of microwave/mm-wave circuits, systems and antenna technologies through several collaborative research projects. This includes developing multi-port tunable microwave components for medical applications, building new types of passive microwave devices in ultra-waved band sensing systems, and tunable beam-forming networks and arrays for satellite communications.

He has won multiple grants and awards in recognition of his research, including the Graduate School International Travel Award (GSITA) from the University of Queensland in 2015, the Dean’s Award for Outstanding HDR Thesis from the University of Queensland in 2017, and the Chancellor’s Research Fellowship from UTS in 2022. He is selected as an IWY-Researcher via the Impossible Without You campaign from CSIRO in 2023.
